Many jokes have been made about the Beyond portion of the Bed Bath & Beyond name on television (Family Guy, Futurama, Good Eats, The Simpsons, Will & Grace and Yin Yang Yo!). The "Beyond" department is also prominently used in Adam Sandler and Christopher Walken's 2006 comedy film Click. In this case, the door marked "Beyond" leads to a workshop helmed by Walken, with a door marked "Way Beyond" leading way to a massive storage unit, which contained the Universal Media Remote that he was looking for. Ironically, Sandler's character asked if there were any Universal Media Remotes, but there weren't.
